Where can I go swimming this summer in Shanghai?
Many people are wondering if there are any good swimming pools that aren't far away from downtown Shanghai. Additionally, families who are interested in bringing their kids to the pool may be looking for a fun water park to spend the day.
Here is AnyHelper's guide for Shanghai's best swimming pools this summer! We separate these pools into three different categories: Indoor Hotel Pools, Outdoor Pools, and Water Parks. Hotels generally require swimmers to book a night in advance, whereas public pools and water parks generally allow admission after purchasing a ticket for the day.
